Central Park Ice Skate Loop

Great fun on a most unique loop of refrigerated ice. Free to skate. Rental skates cost, but not too much. Parking lot and nearby street parking is also free.

Great place to take your friends/family/kids to skate. The Zamboni goes over the ice frequently and the facility is kept clean. Staff are nice but they seemed stressed from possibly being understaffed. Also, teenagers will sometimes speed past you and push you over so watch out for them!

This is a nice spot to ice skate. It's free if you have your own skates and only $7 to rent skates if you don't have them. They have a nice warming building that has bathrooms, seating , and a concession stand. They have cubbies inside to store stuff while u skate, but they are not ones you can lock. They also light up the trees at night time and have a fire pit outside some nights.

Ice rank was not shoveled or glazed. It was very hard to skate on. From pictures that other people have posted, they have a big bomb fire to keep the skater warm. On the day that we went was super cold, the fire was not on. We only went around the rank once and we call it for the day. We didn't even last an hour. Yes, we were prepare for the cold (hats, glove, snow pant, coat). It was my first time there and it will be my last time there. I will NOT recommend this place.

Free!!! Neat meandering ice trail playing Kool108 tunes on the speakers. Feels like I've gone back in time to my childhood. If you don't have skates, you can rent figure or hockey skates in the beautiful huge warming building for $6. Bathrooms, drinking fountains and a modern pretty fireplace are also inside. Best time ever!!!

This place is awesome! There is a free parking lot available. It is free to skate and they offer $6 skate rentals (hockey and figure skates). Also I saw little kids using the assistive skating device, which I assume they rented. There is a pavilion where you can store belongings and warm up. The concession stand offers cold and hot drinks along with some food. The skating rink is not a just a circle, it's curvy and loops around. The trees surrounding the rink are festively lit up with Christmas lights. Overall it was a wonderful experience and something fun to do during these long winter days.

It may be a skate loop...but my friends and I enjoyed a nice leisurely walk early eve walk . around the late here. A nice walk around the lake and it's even close to the shops that we stopped by for frozen yogurt afterwards! AWESOME!

What a great experience for the whole family. Skate rentals were $6 for all ages and no admission. Warming hut is nice and newer with a fire to relax and warm up. The loop made it more fun to skate around than simply in an oval continually. Great lights, easy location and very cost-effective. We brought our own food and drink so we didn't see if there were concessions. Will definitely be back.

Beautiful place to skate, plenty of room for many skaters of all ages. Well maintained facility, rink both indoor and outdoor areas.

This is a great place to do outdoor skating. There's lots of room, in a great park setting. There's also a spacious, dry lodge in which to warm up. Rental this last winter was just $7 for the entire day. I would suggest going right when it opens (if not too cold), or right after they redo the ice (circa 11AM when we were there). Otherwise, the ice can get marred up and make the skating rougher.
